    Haven't been here in years and the staff still remembered us. Great place we like to boat to. Food is great. Drinks are always refreshing. Staff is on top of it. We will be back.

    The clam chowder was definitely worth it. Fresh and clean fryer oil for the fries and the steak and Swiss sandwich was really good! make sure to ask for the aus jus sauce!

    Good food and good prices. The waitress was very friendly and explained the specials to us. Indoor and outdoor dinning right on the water to watch all the boats.

    Had dinner on the patio tonight, about 4:30. Prime rib was spectacular, as usual. Server was quite new at the job, but was kind, helpful and courteous. We were told by the hostess “not to stay too long” as they had a lot of reservations. The sun on the patio was blazing hot so we opened our umbrella and were told to close it because of gusty winds. There were no gusty winds. Everyone that came opened their umbrella as well and were told to close them. The only thing we can surmise was they did not want us “comfortable” and over stay our welcome. Very disappointing.

    Great atmosphere and location! We pulled our boat right up to the dock, sat at the outside bar and watched the boat traffic on the water. The waitress was very friendly and so were the other patrons. We ate lunch and the food was very good. Also, the beer selection was extensive and served icy cold in frosted mugs. I highly reccomend the Turkey Reuben and the Salmon. I will be stopping here every time I'm in the area.

    Staff here is very friendly and always excellent! Great place to eat and watch the boats go by. Lots of menu choices from nice salads, burgers, ribs, and specials like the Tomahawk Pork pictured. Large bar inside, tiki bar outside and plenty of dining seating inside & out.

    The servers were friendly and nice. But our server wasn't busy. She had 2 tables outside and we wouldn't see her for 20 minute periods. I don't know what she was doing between the 20 minutes but it definitely wasn't serving us. Because of that sometimes another server would help us out. Very slow service. Other than that the food was good (unfortunately they ran out of some items on the menu too) but it was very delicious. Also the location and building appearance was great. I definitely recommend visiting this place, but expect the wait on the waiters 🤣

    Excellent food, had the clam chowder today and it was very good. All around great place to have lunch or dinner, riverside views, outdoor seating available.

    Just had a great time. 1st time going to Crew Inn. We love it. They treated us like family there. Very clean . The food was crazy good. The staff were awesome too. Live music. A+ . I thought I was in Florida.

    Great location on the river. Food was excellent, beverages were cold, wait was not too bad. Service was slightly slow, but I think this is the sign of the times, with businesses short on staff. The real crab cakes are highly recommended.

    Food is quite good at a fair price. Service was excellent. Owner needs to learn what a carpet cleaner is. Been here a few time's in the last few years because we do enjoy the food , but I don't think the carpet has been cleaned since it was installed.

    Ate here once and was pretty good food and service. Tried to go again with a larger party on a Sunday. We called ahead and were told that all orders had to be placed by 7:45pm. ok no problem. We arrived at 7:20pm and were turned away by the hostess. She basically told us too bad, we close at 8. Even after calling ahead to check if it was ok we were denied anyway. When we asked to speak to the manager, she said he wasn't there.

    This was the second time this year I lunched here, and enjoyed it yet again. This time, because of wind and impending rain, we ate inside. I'm sorry I didn't get our waitresses names, because they were both very good. However, the shorter, bubblier one, my mother says it's there all the time. I ordered the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It was a crispy chicken breast with Cajun seasonings, tired with lettuce, tomato, and I believe, onion, and Sriracha sauce, on a nice firm, but not tough, bun. This came with fries or coleslaw. I chose the fries. My mother had a grilled Reuben and coleslaw. While waiting for our food, we enjoyed our chat, at a window booth, overlooking the water. Just a river or canal, but water nonetheless. I enjoyed an iced tea with lemon. A bit weak for me, but still tasty. The food was delicious. Fries were hot and crispy. Food hot but not burning. I expected the spicy chicken to be spicier, with the Cajun seasonings and Sriracha sauce. However, it is most likely spicy enough for most people. I even sampled the coleslaw, and found it to be creamy, but not thick, with just the right amount of seasonings to buy overwhelmed the flavor, and slow you too still enjoy the cabbage. For dessert we shared a slice of key lime pie. Although the line flavor was not as sharp as I usually expect in a key lime, the raspberry sauce drizzled over the top, was a welcomed extra. A very nice complement. The coffee was nothing special, but a tasty cup of black coffee, that was hot, but didn't burn my teeth. I highly recommend Crews Inn for a wonderful lunch.

    Some locals told me I should go here for fish and chips; so I did. I started with a salad, which was relatively small, as expected. It was primarily iceberg lettuce, two slices of cucumber, two slices of onion, and two slices of tomato. I chose the ranch dressing today. It was very nice and fresh, and I really enjoyed it. Even though iceberg is not usually my lettuce of choice. So the salad was simple but well done. I followed that up with the fish and chips, although I did consider the purge. And perfectly cooked. I even enjoyed the fries, but I'm not really a fries guy. The tartar sauce was okay, not the best I've had for sure, but much better than some I've had. I followed this up with a piece of key lime pie, something that seems very popular around here. There was raspberry drizzled on it and whipping cream on the side. I see why it is popular. I considered the key lime good, but unless I'm in the mood for a dessert I won't order it again. Brought back memories of my honeymoon. This is a Coke shop, so happy about that. I sat outside along the water, and I really enjoyed the view. They have boats going back and forth in many were stopping at their dock and coming in to eat. All in all, this was a great suggestion that I try. They were setting up live music as I was leaving, so you might be serenaded if you go at the right time.

    This is one of my local go-to’s! The service and food is always great with a fantastic view of the water and boats passing by. The salmon and coconut shrimp are my favorite, but club sandwich and Philly cheesesteak are also great!

    Nice place on the river that you can go to by car or boat. Gets busy in the summer so you have to be understanding if there is a longer wait for a table and food to come out. Have had many entrees on the menu with no complaints. They also host many events during the year that are worth checking out.

    Very friendly waitress. We got a great table, enjoyed the view of the boats, the food and the beer. Will certainly come back.

    visited many times. Owner, Tommy is a great person & has a wonderful personality. The food is very good (luv the fish & chips) & Tommy makes a wonderful Woodford Ol' Fashion.

    The French onion soup was great, the entree was alright, but I just had a burger. The place had a good, friendly atmosphere that wasn't just for drinkers, the server was attentive, and the menu's options were good. Much better than the place next door.

    I bring the parents and in laws every time I come to visit. The view is amazing and the wait staff are the friendliest and most attentive and helpful with suggestions of food and drinks. Love the key lime martini here. The hamburger is hot and cooked as requested. The calamari was different than you usually get at other places so posted a pic so not to be surprised. Was sitting in an oil mixture wasn’t bad just a bit different the calamari itself was yum sliced this way! It was like steak calamari prefer over the tentacle ones ;). The perch was fresh and lightly battered .. the fish and chips was a little too batteries and deep fried for the table’s preference but other may like that :)

    I went here for a school thing for my child, and the service was great. The food was good and it was a nice place to go to stop thinking about all the craziness and just enjoy dinner with your family.

  • 5/5 Sonya H. 1 year ago on Google
    Crews Inn knocked it out of the park for me! I've been on a journey this Summer to enjoy more of my meals outdoors on the water. Crews Inn over-delivered by providing amazing waterview experience, great service and foid so good I wanted to camp out and stay for breakfast! I had 🦐 Shrimp Scampi and Key Lime Pie with a 🍹 cocktail. Love, love, loved it!

  • 5/5 Jocelyn D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great menu selections and quality ingredients. Service was fast and very charming. Location is nice especially in the warmer months when you can sit outside and watch the boats go by. I would return!!

  • 3/5 Susan D. 1 year ago on Google
    It was OK nothing to rave about. A cup of Tomato soup, and a appetizer of coconut shrimp 🍤 Water to drink......$28.00 Plus tip. They were not prepared for dessert order's. I understand coast has gone up, but come on, I know they didn't raise the waitress pay, soooooo Not for me. My second visit, and either time impressed.

    Just left here, got a beer from the bar and a waitress said my husband and I could sit at a table by the water, the place was not busy, shortly after, we were approached by an extremely rude waitress who stated "these tables are for food patrons only." I would understand, but this place was dead. My husband and I will not be back, this was our first time here, and we wanted to check it out, however, after that experience, we're going to stay with the competition. I would like to add the bartender was very nice and we had fast service from her.
